Returning with a very timely and highly entertaining look a America’s presidential races then and now, documentary masters Chris Hegedus and D A Pennebaker show they still have the bite and passion that has made them legends. Here we re-visit the characters and political landscape of their 1992 powerhouse, The War Room, and meet up with the minds that have changed the nature of political campaigning internationally: James Carville, George Stephanopoulos, Paul Begala , Dee Dee Myers and many others. It’s clear their relationships are genuine and intact even today. But the drive here is hearing these political veterans recall the rollercoaster of 1992 and reflect on the drastically changing political process and media culture of today. The exceptional perspective offered is unlike any other election film.
